SBS introduces new high-end disc brake padDanish manufacturer SBS Friction is introducing a new high-end disc brake pad compound – the SBS EVO Sinter.
The company says that “the bike industry’s ongoing product development with upgrades of engine performance, frame, suspension, tyre technology as well as electronic riding and braking aid systems calls for a new generation of brake components.
“The SBS EVO Sinter meets this challenge. It is a sintered brake pad developed to meet modern bike technology. It will appeal to bikers who usually prefer OEM replacement parts”.
With EVO Sinter, SBS says it is offering a competitive alternative with comparable performance, riding comfort and durability.
The EVO Sinter pads are manufactured with advanced production technology featuring conductive sintering (direct hot pressing), where the material is heated up by electrical current, resulting in an “excellent and homogeneous brake pad material”.
SBS says it also features advanced friction material bonding technology - the NRS system, which is a mechanical bonding method based on a matrix of steel hooks raised on the backing plate. These mould into the friction material, creating an “indestructible and corrosion safe mechanical bond without any use of adhesives”.
The company says that the operational features and advantages of the new technology is to include a strong initial bite that gives instant brake feeling, easy modulation and powerful in-stop performance, fade-free braking - even under extreme conditions consistent, reliable brake performance throughout the lifetime of the product and durability – importantly, with low disc wear.
The initial launch range of SBS EVO Sinter includes almost 30 part numbers for modern Adventure, Roadster, Sport and touring bikes.
